Tallulah had been throwing the Hufflepuff Back to School Bash featuring Tallulah and The Angels since her 3rd year. Now in 6th year, she'd become an old pro at showing the kids a good time. She put on musical numbers with her girls and there was free butterbeer and pumpkin juice all night. Professor Sprout thought last years performance of "The Devil in Me" was a little too risque so The Angels decided to perform some Celestina Warbeck classics instead.
Mickey finally put the past behind him and joined Matt and all his friends in the common room for the party. "The gang's all back together again!" Matthew put his long arms around Mickey, Rory, Craig and Sophie. "Free butterbeer!" He ran off in a hurry.
"He's got a couple screws loose but I guess he's alright" Mickey laughed.
"Woooo! Party with the black and yellow!" Amelia Pond walked up with a pumpkin juice in her hand.
"Amy!" Rory was surprised to see her but not too surprised. "You snuck in again?!" She'd done it last year.
"You know I'm not one to miss a good party." Amy giggled. "It's not that hard to sneak in here you know. All you have to do is tickle the pear." Amy started tickling Rory playfully.
"Stop that." Rory tried to be serious but couldn't help laughing. "You seem even goofier than usual, Amy" He saw Amy was having a hard time standing.
"Yeah, I feel a little dizzy actually." Amy chuckled as she leaned on Rory for support.
"Is she drunk?" Mickey shot them a look. Just then half the kids in the room started falling over. Half caught the giggles and the other half complained about headaches.
"I don't feel so good" Craig ran off to the dormitory.
"Woo! What is this?" Rhys pointed at the drink in his hand.
"It's pumpkin juice." Amy spoke louder than she needed to.
"No, there's something in this and it isn't juice" Rhys chuckled as he tried to hold himself up against a table.
"Who did this!" Tallulah yelled making everyone in the room stop and listen. "Who spiked the pumpkin juice?!" Her platinum blonde curls jumped as she spun around to see Professor Sprout come in and test the drink.
"Dizziness Draught" Sprout concluded as she took the bowl full of pumpkin juice away. "Sort this out, Tallulah."
"Ugh! Whoever did this has ruined my party and they're going to pay! You hear me?!" Tallulah stomped off with her girls.
"I'd say they improved it" Both Amy and Rhys laughed as they spoke in unison and nearly toppled over from dizziness.
"Your girlfriend's great, Rory!" Rhys held on to Rory's shoulder for support. "I think I'm in love." He fell back on the couch. "Alright I think I'm too dizzy to stand now so... I'm just going to close my eyes...goodnight." Rhys passed out.
Amy fell backwards and would have hit the ground if Rory hadn't caught her. "Ok, we're going back to the Gryffindor common room and getting you in bed." Rory held her up as best he could as a disoriented Amy chuckled at him.
"Is that what we're doing?" Amy joked as Matt came up and noticed Rory trying to hang onto her. He put one of Amy's arms over his shoulder while Rory took the other.
"Let me help you get Amy back safe." Matthew offered to help as they walked out the door past the kitchen and back up the moving staircase to the Gryffindor common room.
"Ok, Amy. We're here. Now what's the password?" Rory spoke slowly and sweetly noticing Amy was looking very confused thanks to the potion she'd just ingested.
"Password?" Amy whispered.
"Good heaven's. Is she alright?" The Fat Lady asked as she noticed the children standing in front of her.
"Someone snuck dizziness draught into the pumpkin juice as a prank." Matthew chuckled. Rory shot him a disapproving look and Matt shrugged. "Oh, come on. It is a little funny."
"Can you please just let us in. She'd too confused to remember the password" Rory sighed in frustration as Amy's arm kept slipping off his shoulder.
"They're getting me in bed" Amy whispered and giggled.
"To rest" Rory added as he noticed The Fat Lady's eyes widen in a moment of shock. "Please let us in. She's heavier than she looks" Rory pleaded.
"Oh, very well." The Fat Lady opened the door. "But quickly now" She added.
The two boys did their best to get her up the stairs to her dormitory. "Alright, I can't open the door so.." Rory nudged Amy to open it but when she reached for it she missed the handle and giggled.
"Everything looks funny." Amy pouted. "Why can't you open it, silly?"
"If a boy touches the girl's dormitory the stairs will disappear, remember" Rory rolled his eyes growing a little frustrated with dizzy Amy.
"Oh, yeah. You're a boy" Amy giggled.
"Yeah, thanks. Glad you just figured this out" Rory spoke with a dry sarcasm as Matt tried to hide his chuckling.
"Ok, I got it" Amy had one hand on the door handle and the other holding Rory's hand. She opened it pulling Rory inside with her while the stairs turned into a slide making Matt tumble all the way back down to the common room.
"Look what you did" Rory whispered as Amy put her arms around him for support. He was in the Gryffindor girl's dormitory. "I'm in so much trouble."
"Ssshhh" Amy silenced him with her finger over his lips. "I have a headache" She whined.
"Ugh!" Rory pushed her towards her bed. "Use your legs"
"I can't. They're all tingly." Amy wobbled to her bed. She plopped herself down and fell back onto the bed. "Ok, I made it." She whispered.
"So you're ok" Rory leaned over her as he sat beside her in the bed. He put his hand over her forehead. "You're a little warm but I'm sure you'll be fine after some rest."
